Package: mailman Version: 1:2.1.9-7 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 9.1.1
Policy section 9.1.1 says that FHS must be complied and FHS Chapter 4 says that /usr must not be written to. However after changing the configuration file /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.pyc is updated on restarting mailman which is a violation of the policy. It should be non-fatal when /usr is read-only, because python will then simply not write out the .pyc file. However using tools like tripwire may cause problems. Please lower the severity of this issue if you think a lower severity is more appropriate. I only filed it as serious because it technically is serious (a policy violation).
